Our Client supports the Council’s conclusions that exceptional circumstances exist to release land from the Green Belt in order to meet their housing requirements, as outlined in the supporting text for the proposals. In addition, they fully support the Council’s proposals to allocate site SW33/H for residential development of up to 175 dwellings.

The site sits within adjacent to the settlement of Clayton but due to the form of the village, which extends northwards at its eastern and western extent, the site would in effect fall within the built form of the village, which limits the extent of encroachment and minimise sprawl. Also, it would not lead to the coalescence of settlements. In summary, it would represent a sound and logical rounding-off of the settlement and its release from the Green Belt would be acceptable as it no longer serves the five Green Belt purposes.
